Synopsis

When his heiress fiancée Jenna vanishes, Mike McAfee falls under suspicion. When a tabloid trumpets his one-night stand with a co-worker, his world crumbles. His boss – Jenna’s father – fires him. The police grill him. The media devour him. To escape the pressure, Mike retreats to his childhood home. When a news crew shows up on the doorstep, Mike assumes the worst. But when he learns that Jenna has been living a secret life with an old boyfriend, Mike's reality changes instantly. With help from some old friends who have secrets of their own, Mike works to plot a new future even as he dodges a ruthless cable TV host and persistent reality television producers, all while feeding coins to the vintage jukebox at a sandwich shop called Mellow Submarine. A funny and moving book, Mellow Submarine should appeal to fans of Nick Hornby, Jonathan Tropper and Tom Perrotta.
